Additionally, the sensitivity of each SVM model was tested separately against each peptide class: a-defensins, b-defensins, CSab defensins, cyclotides, hepcidins, hevein-like peptides, knottins, panaedins, tachplesins, h-defensins, thionins and undefined. The group of undefined peptides encompasses peptides without a defined class and classes with fewer than five members. Furthermore, the 1364 sequences from PDB that were not included in NS were used for verifying the specificity of models.membrane proteins [20]. There is an overlapping between the positive BS1 and BS2 sequences, once they were extracted from APD. Nevertheless there is no overlapping between the negative sequences, once in BS1 they were extracted from PDB. Furthermore the sequences from BS2 were GSK -3203591 randomly generated clearly showing any coinciding. A third assessment was done with the weighted average of the two benchmarks. BS1 and BS2 are available as Data Sets S1 and S2, respectively, in fasta format.Results and DiscussionThe cysteine patterns are widely spread in several classes of biologically active peptides. These patterns are highly conserved and are responsible for keeping stable the structural folding. For this reason they are used for peptide classification [4,20,27]. Due to their multifunctionality, they have an enormous biotechnology potential [1,2,31,32]. However, due to their multifunctional character, the identification of a single function without in vitro and/or in vivo tests is a very difficult task. As an example, we can cite the cyclotide parigidin-br1. This peptide was identified in leaves of Palicurea rigida [8] but was unable to control bacterial development, despite sharing 75 of identity with a bactericidal cyclotide named circulin b [42]. Among the possible activities, the antimicrobial one is a good target for prediction, since there are several databases dedicated to peptides with this kind of activity, 1317923 such as APD [35] and CAMP [23]. Several models of antimicrobial SPDP activity prediction have been proposed by using such databases [20?5]. On the other hand, there are no non-antimicrobial peptide databases, which becomes an enormous challenge for constructing reliable models [20,21,25]. Several approaches have been proposed to overcome this problem, including the use of proteins with the annotation of non-antimicrobial from SwissProt or PDB [21,23?5] or even using sequences predicted to have signal peptides or trans-BenchmarkingThe blind data set was used to compare the models generated in this study with the algorithms SVM, Discriminant Analysis (DA), and Random Forest (RF) from the Collection of Antimicrobial Peptides (CAMP) [23], an artificial neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) [25] and also the SVM model generated by our previous work [20]. The assessment of each model was done through the parameters described in equations 1 to 5. Additionally, the blind data set from our previous work (BS2) [20] was also used as a second benchmarking assessment. BS2 is composed of 53 antimicrobial sequences with six cysteine residues extracted from APD and 53 proteins randomly generated.Ffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi??(TPzFP)|(TPzFN)|(TNzFP)|(TNzFN) Where TP is the number of true positives; FN, the false negatives; TN, the true negatives; FP, the false positives, PPV, the probability of positive prediction; and MCC, Matthews Correlation Coefficient.
